Is there another roguelite out there that manages narrative progression this well without breaking the loop, honestly? I keep coming back to it precisely because dying never feels like starting from zero.

People act like this reinvented the genre but Isaac did the run variety first, this one just added voice acting and a family therapy subplot, both great, different itch though.

The progression curve is the whole point, though. It's built to lower the barrier so the story keeps unfolding, not to remove challenge entirely.

Overrated grind dressed up as story. 148th feels generous honestly.

Ah sí, ganar te vuelve débil, qué gran descubrimiento acaba de hacer la comunidad.

Perso c'est l'inverse, j'ai lâché Isaac après deux heures et celui là je l'ai fini en boucle pendant des mois.

Isaac rewards obsessive knowledge, this rewards patience with people. Different itch entirely.

Grind, dices... quizás confundes profundidad con repetición, que aquí no faltan diálogos nuevos.

Ce qui me fait toujours revenir dessus, c'est que chaque run apporte quelque chose de nouveau, une phrase, une relation qui évolue. 148e me semble bien bas pour un jeu qui a autant marqué le genre ces dernières années.

Lo que más me gustó fueron los diálogos, cambian todo el tiempo y eso mantiene las conversaciones frescas incluso después de muchas partidas, aunque con Darkest Dungeon al lado se nota que el desafío aquí es mucho más permisivo, cada uno busca algo distinto supongo.
